fanciers are in Hattiesburg MS for four days with the Greater Hattiesburg

his top two dogs.His options were the

Fox Terrier, CH Sayo's Jai Ho, the Toy Poodle, GCH CH Donnchada Angel Wings At

CH Sayo's Jai Ho

Best went to the Standard Poodle, Flame.Reserve was reserved for the Smooth Fox,
Tessa.Flame did not make her 2012 debut
until July when she copped three BIS in one weekend in Sedalia MO.By year’s end she had two more.Thursday’s win is her second in 11 final
appearances this year.

Flame & Tessa would return to the final ring on Friday
along with the above named Irish Setter & Sheltie to plead their case with BIS judge
Kathleen Grosso.Joining them were the
Whippet, GCH CH Karasar Remberence, the Doberman Pinscher, O's Godiva Dark
Demitasse, and the Papillon, GCH CH Fenice Le Boudreaux.

Judge Grosso would select the same two, giving Tessa the BIS
and Flame the RBIS.Tessa is now two for
